This takes me up to early June (and dreaming of vacation), but here is what is on my schedule:

April 22: Image Editing: It's not all about Photoshop, Lunch n Learn @ 11am (UGA Web Editors; we are going to try to video this one)
Do you know there are both downloadable opensource image editors free for use as well as online image editors? Have you ever been away from Photoshop but wanted to quickly edit a photo? Or perhaps, you have a colleague who just needs to quickly resize a photo, but doesn't have access to Photoshop? Interested in collaborative EDITING online, in addition to just sharing? We'll look at a few popular choices including GIMP, Aviary, and Picnik. -- Open to anyone on the UGA Dweebs listserv

May 3, 2pm (Encore May 7 @ 10am): Get Photo Saavy: Learn about FREE online photo editing and management tools such as flickr and picnic. Discover some of the basics of editing photographs and how to share photos using feeds and widgets. Sample images will be provided, but feel free to bring your digital camera. (part of the 10 Weeks to a Web2.0 U; Social media & Web 2.0 training program for UGA Libraries -- more on that later, when I can breathe)

May 5, 2-4pm Drupal Basics for Libraries offered through Lyrasis; introduction to Content Management Systems, Drupal and a demo.

June 1, 10-12 Drupal Basics for Libraries offered through Lyrasis; introduction to Content Management Systems, Drupal and a demo.

As you can see, heavy on the web stuff; it's true, I frequently do this kind of stuff at lunch or after "regular" (what is that, these days?) hours. I am kind of booked up at the moment, but I'm always looking for speaking/lecture opportunities. Drop me a line @ georgiawebgurl@gmail.com
